“I had no idea what God had in store for me when I enrolled in the Southern Ohio School of Ministry—I only knew this work-at-home mom was ready for more Jesus, more knowledge and more wisdom. I had no idea Old Testament Survey would stretch my brain and New Testament Survey would grow my faith. I had no idea Biblical Counseling would sustain my marriage and Leadership Goals would strengthen my family. I had no idea Teaching and Preaching would be the beginning of a career as a speaker, or Bible Study Methods would help me write a book. I had no idea my teacher would become my mentor, and my classmates my best friends. I had no idea—but God knew. I’m eternally grateful He equipped me to love Him more as Biblical truth was revealed each week.”

“Enrolling in the School of Ministry was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Not only for my spiritual growth but also in helping me become a better wife and mother. Each lesson is based on Jesus as the cornerstone and is packed with ways to become more like Him! My favorite part is the class discussion time! I love hearing each persons view as well as amazing, eye opening teaching by Pastor Mark ... I always walk away with a fresh, new perspective!”

“I had the pleasure of attending the School of Ministry with my wife and still today we believe it was the most impactful 2 years for our family, our child, our business and our relationship with Christ. You will experience genuine life change.”

“Attending the School of Ministry was one of the best investments of my time and money that I’ve ever made. Classes are exciting, challenging, relevant and life changing. I’ve received several degrees in my lifetime but this one is the most precious. What I’ve learned here I will carry into eternity.”

“I have learned so much about the Bible that I didn’t know was there. Mark teaches in such a practical way that I’m able to apply it to my everyday life. My life would not be the same had I not taken this school!”

“When I came home from spending 6 months in Kenya the one thing I knew I had to do was start the School of Ministry. And now that I’m one year into the school, I am so glad I did! What I wanted most from completing classes wasn’t to graduate or even get a certificate but to gain confidence in ministering to others. And after a year of school I feel more confident now that ever before!”

“Church was nerver my thing, never felt like giving up “man rights” to be part; then I met the-real-deal Pastor Mark Pfeifer. He introduced me to the real Jesus... The Most High King and makes no apologies for it Jesus. Jesus says He will strengthen us with His might; the inference being, we become strong and mighty... but... only because of Him. Learning His identity reveals your identity; powerful, controlled, driven, compassionate. Gaining life starts with knowing Jesus. SOMA is the best place to meet Him. Go.”

“I work on the line - I didn’t take this school to propel me into some position. I took this school so that while I’m at my job everyday I know I can make a difference. This class has taught me how to challenge my co-workers to be spiritual leaders of their families, and to be more in their own lives.”
